I would probably eat a burger no bun, and enjoy and ice cream sandwich for dessert.

I eat mostly fruits and veggies and constipation has been a huge issue this week. I am thinking about just blowing my calories and having a giant bowl of raisin bran with milk. B) Ok so after reading the responses... 1. I eat oatmeal often for lunch 2. I went for a five mile walk last night after eating fried chicken on my…

I had oatmeal, with some milk, grapes and red pepper hummus on a thin cake.

I am starting again also. I lost 50 lbs in 2014 and was just 10 lbs shy I gaining it back... We can do this!

Margaritas, Wine and Ice Cream

Fit it into your daily limit. I will eat pizza. I stop at one slice and log it. I would probably pack my yeti cooler with things like salad, greek yogurt, fresh veggies, along with a bag of healthy non refrigerated snacks.

This was me. I had my daughter on a wednesday. Saturday I was wearing size 2 jeans...

Right there with you...the struggle is real. I can drink 1200-1800 calories a day or eat. I can't do both and maintain a small size.

If I am watching calories, I can go back to drinking miller lite. But still a six pack is roughly 600 calories. :(

No one says to get drunk. Last year my doctor put me on a new allergy/asthma medicine without telling me that it did not play nice with alcohol. I proceeded to drink my normal two bottles of wine and found myself deathly ill. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. I do not even want a hint of a buzz when I drink.

And right there you lost all credibility. Coors light...yuck. ;)

I do not have late night munchies. I eat on a fairly consistent schedule. Breakfast 7-8 AM, Lunch 11 AM, Snack 2 PM, Dinner 5 PM. Go to bed at 9 PM.

:D Right!

I went out last night with my boyfriend and had a great night! Go! I ordered a house salad with chicken, and an unsweetened tea. We then went on a 5 mile walk on a walking trail. It was a beautiful night. Cheap and healthy.

And it has had more replies today than 10 years ago... :wink:

I am having the same dilemma. Keep working the plan.

Early morning 200 Mid morning 150 Afternoon 300 Late afternoon 150 Evening 300 Before bed 100 You do not really need to eat them at a certain time, but this is kind of how I break it down. But I eat breakfast, lunch dinner, morning snack and afternoon snack.

Can't do it. I drink because I like the taste. I do not drink for a buzz. So by golly I want to drink what tastes good. I am not into pounding down cough syrup.

I am great about ordering a salad at 300-400 calories. It is the margaritas that they sit in front of me the moment I sit down at my favorite Mexican restaurant. Then they hand me a second when my glass is empty

Not being able to drink without logging and regretting every sip.

I am 5'3" and I gain weight consuming an 1800 calorie diet. What was your goal prior to increasing to 1800?

I gained 22 lbs since Christmas. I want those 22 lbs gone in the same amount of time.

Then I must have a habit and not an addiction. Because if I do not have my preferred drink at home, I get in the car and go buy what I want. I won't resort to drinking what I hate.

It depends what you are eating. I eat 1100-1200 calories a day and I am not hungry. But I eat lots of protein, greens and some fruits. I feel stuffed almost with a bloated feeling.

Ditto. I like to keep Hershey miniatures on hand and just pop one when I need a chocolate fix. I also like Pizzelle Italian cookies which are 23 calories a cookie.

That is a false statement. I know many alcoholics. I myself probably bordering on being so, and yes alcoholics can be picky and will just drink what they like and not everything. I won't drink straight whiskey. I know someone that only drinks vodka. She carries it in a water bottle and sips all day long. She won't drink…

I log all alcohol. I overestimate foods. So I might eat only 2 tostito chips, but I still log a 1/2 a serving. Or log a full container of greek yogurt but I never actually finish it. I just do not burn calories. I was anorexic as a teenager so my body might have gotten use to functioning on no calories back then. Hard to…

I no longer have a fit bit, but my phone says I am doing 3000-5000 steps a day.

Yeah I count a 15 minute walk at lunch as exercise. I rode my bike for 30 minutes around the court this weekend. Overall I not very active. Weeding the garden is not exercise, nor is mowing the grass on a tractor, while consuming a beer. Which is the only way I am getting through lawn work. I am not a runner. The dog is…

I did this two years ago and was very happy with the end results of my body at 124 lbs.
